Holy crap! Are you serious? Like I said, I don't know much about these things, but I recall seeing safes at gunshows and at the locksmith that looked like they would survive a direct hit from a howitzer. I never really stopped and looked at them, so I guess I need to get out there and touch & feel some of these things.
POP, that's an interesting idea about a vault. I think that's a little bit beyond what I need at this point, however. I would like to be able to take the thing with me when I move also. The stand-alone units I am seeing online give weights in the 600-650lb range. Are you saying that a standard 6" slab would not be enough for that size safe?
daepp, I know what you mean about these things getting hot inside. I'm seeing numbers like 300 degrees Fahrenheit inside after 30 minutes of "burn". Definitely hot enough to turn my axes into flaming timber. I guess I'm more concerned about the "smash-n-grab" type of break-in.
Thanks again for the info guys.
